Connor Prielipp - Awarded another start Prielipp is slated to start Monday's game against the Mariners at Target Field.

Impact The Twins have elected to keep the 25-year-old lefty around for another turn through the rotation after a serviceable showing in his MLB debut Wednesday, when he struck out six and allowed two earned runs on four hits and no walks over four innings in a no-decision versus the Mets. Since Mick Abel (elbow) is set to remain on the injured list through at least the upcoming week, Prielipp will tentatively line up for a two starts, with his second turn expected to come over the weekend at home versus the Blue Jays.

Brooks Lee - Supplies Minnesota's lone runs Lee went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run during the Twins' 4-2 loss to the Rays on Sunday.

Impact The Twins were blanked through the first six innings of Sunday's game, but Lee got his team on the board after cracking a two-run homer off Jesse Scholtens in the seventh frame. It was Lee's second homer of the three-game series and his fifth of the 2026 season. Since April 1, he has slashed .269/.337/.487 with one steal, 15 RBI and 11 runs scored over 86 plate appearances.

Simeon Woods Richardson - Roughed up in third frame Woods Richardson (0-4) took the loss against the Rays on Sunday, allowing four runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out two across 4.1 innings.

Impact Woods Richardson took care of business through the first two innings of Sunday's start, but things unravelled for him in the third. It started with a throwing error to first base that advanced the runner to second, and after giving up a two-run single to Jonathan Aranda, the game blew wide open after Woods Richardson yielded a two-run home run to Yandy Diaz. After allowing just three earned runs over his first two starts of the season, Woods Richardson has given up at least three earned runs in each of his last four starts, and he sits at a 6.30 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 15:13 K:BB across 30 innings, with opposing hitters batting .311 against him. He's slated to face the Blue Jays at home next weekend, when he'll look to capture his first win of the 2026 campaign.

Simpson is now tied for the third-most steals in the majors behind Jose Caballero and Jose Ramirez (11 each).

It was Diaz's fourth home run of the season and first since April 10 against the Yankees. The veteran slugger is off to a strong start to the 2026 season, slashing .337/.425/.500 with 20 RBI and 16 runs scored across 120 plate appearances.
